Access global data from a directory data file

[puleddu]

I'm trying to access data that's made available by the Global Data File_data/snippets.js from the Javascript Data File about/about.11tydata.js. Is it possible? I'm not sure how this could be done. I would have imagined that I could access some global data object from the Javascript file, but I haven't had any luck trying to achieve that.

Any ideas?

Trying to answer my own question, it seems like the following is a viable option:

about.11tydata.js

module.exports = {
  eleventyComputed: {
    about: data => data.snippets
  }
};

Now, the data in about is available for use in my templates, such as about.md.
I wonder if it's also the easiest, most efficient way do do something like this.

Yep, that's how I'd do it.
